How Do You Know When To Copyright A Song?

0

Copyrighting is an important term that musicians and songwriters should get used to from the start. While you cannot copyright an idea, you can most definitely copyright a song. You want to copyright the composition and lyrics as soon as they are written. While a song has a copyright the very moment you write it, you need to make that copyright legal. By protecting your art, you are protecting yourself from others who may take liberties and “borrow” your art and heart. Request a form from the national copyright office. You can request forms by mail or you can download them immediately online (see Resources below). Make sure to get the right form, as they have different forms for the many types of copyrights you can create. Print out the form from the website or receive it in the mail. At this point, you want to go over it thoroughly. It is a great idea to get an entertainment lawyer to work you through the process, especially if you are planning on copyrighting many songs at once.
